with Dan Diamond, Managing Editor, The Daily Briefing
Understand the ACA's 'One-Stop-Shop' Marketplaces
It's official, health insurance exchanges are live. But what exactly is a "health insurance exchange"?
Government officials often compare the exchanges to online travel sites like Expedia or Orbitz. But given that many exchange websites aren't live yet, I find it helpful to picture a big box store.
Like many stores, the exchanges don't actually produce the products they sell, they sell products made by someone else—in this case, insurance plans, created by insurance companies. Stores won't sell just anything, though—they have standards about what they carry. And so do the exchanges.

Health insurance marketplace

In the United States, health insurance marketplaces, also called health exchanges, are organizations set up to facilitate the purchase of health insurance in each state in accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA, known colloquially as "Obamacare"). Marketplaces provide a set of government-regulated and standardized health care plans from which individuals may purchase health insurance policies eligible for federal subsidies.

All ACA health exchanges were to be fully certified and operational by January 1, 2014, under federal law. Enrollment in the marketplaces started on October 1, 2013, and continued for six months. As of April 19, 2014, 8.02 million people had signed up through the health insurance marketplaces. An additional 4.8 million joined Medicaid. Enrollment for 2015 began November 15, 2014 and ended December 15, 2014.

Private non-ACA health care exchanges also exist in many states, responsible for enrolling 3 million people. These exchanges predate the Affordable Care Act and facilitate insurance plans for employees of small and medium size businesses.

Health insurance

Health insurance is insurance against the risk of incurring medical expenses among individuals. By estimating the overall risk of health care and health system expenses, among a targeted group, an insurer can develop a routine finance structure, such as a monthly premium or payroll tax, to ensure that money is available to pay for the health care benefits specified in the insurance agreement. The benefit is administered by a central organization such as a government agency, private business, or not-for-profit entity. According to the Health Insurance Association of America, health insurance is defined as "coverage that provides for the payments of benefits as a result of sickness or injury. Includes insurance for losses from accident, medical expense, disability, or accidental death and dismemberment" (pg. 225).

Background

A contract between an insurance provider (e.g. an insurance company or a government) and an individual or his/her sponsor (e.g. an employer or a community organization). The contract can be renewable (e.g. annually, monthly) or lifelong in the case of private insurance, or be mandatory for all citizens in the case of national plans. The type and amount of health care costs that will be covered by the health insurance provider are specified in writing, in a member contract or "Evidence of Coverage" booklet for private insurance, or in a national health policy for public insurance.

Health

Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental or social challenges. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete" Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction. Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health. Health is that balanced condition of the living organism in which the integral, harmonious performance of the vital functions tends to the preservation of the organism and the normal development of the individual.

Insurance

Insurance is a means of protection from financial loss. It is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. An insurer, or insurance carrier (often called an "insurance company), is sells the insurance policy to customers. The customers, who are called the insured or policyholder, are the person or entity (which may be a private company or other organization) buying the insurance policy. The amount of money to the customer pays for a certain amount of insurance coverage is called the "premium". Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.

The transaction involves the insured making a payment to the insurer in exchange for the insurer's promise to compensate (indemnity) the insured in the case of a financial (personal) loss. The insured receives a contract, called the insurance policy, which details the conditions and circumstances under which the insured will be financially compensated. In the event that the insured experiences a financial or personal loss which is covered by the insurance policy, the insured makes an insurance claim to the insurer. Insurance company claims adjusters and other insurance company employees assess the claim. Insurance policies typically set out certain circumstances or actions which will void the insurance policy; if the insurance policy is voided, then the insurer may not have to pay out the claim.

Crash Course

Plot

Crash Course centers on a group of high schoolers in a driver’s education class; many for the second or third time. The recently divorced teacher, super-passive Larry Pearl, is on thin ice with the football fanatic principal, Principal Paulson, who is being pressured by the district superintendent to raise driver’s education completion rates or lose his coveted football program. With this in mind, Principal Paulson and his assistant, with a secret desire for his job, Abner Frasier, hire an outside driver’s education instructor with a very tough reputation, Edna Savage, aka E.W. Savage, who quickly takes control of the class.

The plot focuses mostly on the students and their interactions with their teachers and each other. In the beginning, Rico is the loner with just a few friends, Chadley is the bookish nerd with few friends who longs to be cool and also longs to be a part of Vanessa’s life who is the young, friendly and attractive girl who had to fake her mother’s signature on her driver’s education permission slip. Kichi is the hip-hop Asian kid who often raps what he has to say and constantly flirts with Maria, the rich foreign girl who thinks that the right-of-way on the roadways always goes to (insert awesomely fake foreign Latino accent) “my father’s limo”. Finally you have stereotypical football meathead J.J., who needs to pass his English exam to keep his eligibility and constantly asks out and gets rejected by Alice, the tomboy whose father owns “Santini & Son” Concrete Company. Alice is portrayed as being the “son” her father wanted.

Understand the ACA's 'One-Stop-Shop' Marketplaces
It's official, health insurance exchanges are live. But what exactly is a "health insurance exchange"?
Government officials often compare the exchanges to online travel sites like Expedia or Orbitz. But given that many exchange websites aren't live yet, I find it helpful to picture a big box store.
Like many stores, the exchanges don't actually produce the products they sell, they sell products made by someone else—in this case, insurance plans, created by insurance companies. Stores won't sell just anything, though—they have standards about what they carry. And so do the exchanges.

Debitum Network Review | Financing Small Business

Our product is intends to decentralize the financing process. Currently, all steps of the financing process are carried out by one financial institution in a centralized manner from the very beginning to the very end. As a result, such financier can only operate in the local market due to the lack of infrastructure abroad (otherwise it becomes very expensive). Moreover, the capacity of financing is also limited, resulting in only a fraction of SMEs’ needs being fulfilled. Debitum Network will be an ecosystem where participants from all around the world will perform separate steps of the financing process. For example, a GermanSME needs funding, so it joins to Debitum Network; a risk assessor from Germany rates the risk; credit insurance company from France performs the insurance; a fund f...

Just about everyone knows about the 401k. It's one of the most widely held retirement plans in America. However, it's estimated that less than 1% have a clue about what an IUL is or how it works. Most people assume that since the 401k (and IRA, SEP IRA, ROTH IRA, etc.) are so widely known, they must be superior plans.

Our product is intends to decentralize the financing process. Currently, all steps of the financing process are carried out by one financial institution in a centralized manner from the very beginning to the very end. As a result, such financier can only operate in the local market due to the lack of infrastructure abroad (otherwise it becomes very expensive). Moreover, the capacity of financing is also limited, resulting in only a fraction of SMEs’ needs being fulfilled. Debitum Network will be an ecosystem where participants from all around the world will perform separate steps of the financing process. For example, a GermanSME needs funding, so it joins to Debitum Network; a risk assessor from Germany rates the risk; credit insurance company from France performs the insurance; a fund from the UK provides the money; a local debt collector from Germany either collects or buys the debt.

IUL vs 401k - Which Is Better?

IUL vs 401k, Which Is Better? Many people are looking for a detailed comparison between an Indexed Universal Life plan and a 401k. You can find out much more about these comparisons at: https://regalassets.com/request-free-gold-ira-kit?id=6118 866-480-7784
Just about everyone knows about the 401k. It's one of the most widely held retirement plans in America. However, it's estimated that less than 1% have a clue about what an IUL is or how it works. Most people assume that since the 401k (and IRA, SEP IRA, ROTH IRA, etc.) are so widely known, they must be superior plans.
The easy answer to this, like most questions, is to follow the money trail. The simple reason you see 401ks, IRAs, ROTHs, etc. advertised and promoted so much is because they are so profitable to the industries and companies promoting them. It's always about the money.
In this detailed video you will clearly see all of the many benefits offered by Indexed Universal Life Insurance. It is a greatly misunderstood program. Plus, many of the giant institutions often try and disparage IULs and similar plans because it is so competitive to them.
The smart investor must take the time to analyze both investment plans, and not just be "sold" a plan by their friend or brother in law. Anyone can just go out and buy stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, options, bonds etc. and use them for their retirement planing.
If you take the time to really do a detailed and unbiased review of both plans, you will be well rewarded in knowing that you have done your homework and chose the plan that suits your needs best.
To find out more about our unique patented version of an IUL that is up to 70% LESS EXPENSIVE than other plans, you can grab your free copy of our Bestselling Book by going to: https://regalassets.com/request-free-gold-ira-kit?id=6118 The book is completely free and provides a more detailed review of this amazing plan than you will find anywhere else, period.

Why Are American Health Care Costs So High?

In which John discusses the complicated reasons why the United States spends so much more on health care than any other country in the world, and along the way reveals some surprising information, including that Americans spend more of their tax dollars on public health care than people in Canada, the UK, or Australia. Who's at fault? Insurance companies? Drug companies? Malpractice lawyers? Hospitals? Or is it more complicated than a simple blame game? (Hint: It's that one.)
For a much more thorough examination of health care expenses in America, I recommend this series at The Incidental Economist: http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/what-makes-the-us-health-care-system-so-expensive-introduction/

What is a health insurance exchange?

https://advisory.com/research/health-care-advisory-board/multimedia/video/2013/what-is-a-health-insurance-exchange
with Dan Diamond, Managing Editor, The Daily Briefing
Understand the ACA's 'One-Stop-Shop' Marketplaces
It's official, health insurance exchanges are live. But what exactly is a "health insurance exchange"?
Government officials often compare the exchanges to online travel sites like Expedia or Orbitz. But given that many exchange websites aren't live yet, I find it helpful to picture a big box store.
Like many stores, the exchanges don't actually produce the products they sell, they sell products made by someone else—in this case, insurance plans, created by insurance companies. Stores won't sell just anything, though—they have standards about what they carry. And so do the exchanges.

"Did you know that health care costs are different depending on the provider? And that prices for prescriptions vary from one pharmacy to another? Most health insurance providers have an online portal designed to help their customers view and compare costs quickly and easily. Even though doing this takes time, the money you'll save makes it worthwhile. Save money and compare costs using online tools that show you how much providers charge for the services you need.

12.13.2012 Public vs Private An In Depth Comparison of Health

The health care industry is about to undergo significant changes with the implementation of the ACA and the creation of Federally Facilitated, State, and PrivateHealth Insurance Exchanges. Most states are either considering options or have announced they will have a state based PublicExchange. It is fairly certain that Private Exchanges will closely follow to ensure consumers have broader access to health plans.

Private Health Insurance Exchanges: A Viable Alternative?

September brought us the dramatic IPO of BenefitFocus, and October saw the launch -- or failure to launch -- of Obamacare's public Health Insurance Exchanges. These recent events are drawing attention to private health insurance exchanges as a viable alternative for employers looking to provide quality coverage for their employees with less impact on their bottom line. This creates a significant opportunity for payers and providers to form new partnerships and develop innovative delivery models for better care at reduced cost. During this webinar, we will discuss:
* Five emerging models of private health insurance exchanges and their implications for future models
* Critical factors for a successful private exchange and key performance metrics
* Legal and regulatory landmines to avoid

Senate Debate on Health Care Exchange

n a 37-28 vote, the Senate approved HF 5, a bill establishing a health insurance exchange, an online market for Minnesotans to shop, compare and purchase health insurance coverage. The vote Thursday, March 7, concluded 12 hours of floor debate and the consideration of nearly 40 amendments.
Differences between the Senate-approved plan and the House proposal will be resolved in conference committee. Among the different approaches, the Senate proposal funds the exchange through tobacco taxes, which are currently directed to the general fund. The House plan imposes a health premium surcharge.
Senate Republicans offered several amendments to provide greater oversight of the governing board that will administer the exchange. They also attempted to alter the Senate's funding mechanism.
The above video features final comments and the vote.
